SAINT MICHAEL, DEFEND US IN THE BATTLE

Write, my son:

I want to recapitulate what I said in preceding messages about the creation of the angels.

I, God, am infinite Love, of love that by its very nature has the necessity of an act of love; therefore I created a vast number of most beautiful spiritual creatures, upon which I poured forth my love.

But before admitting them into everlasting participation in my kingdom, I submitted them to a trial. Unfortunately a huge number did not pass the trial, as two thirds desired and knew how to do so; Satan placed himself at the head of the rebels, with a certain number of angels; Saint Michael placed himself at the head of the good angels.

There was a great battle in heaven: a battle of the intelligence and will; this is something difficult for you to form an idea of. The defeated angels were converted into horrendous demons and cast into hell, devoured by the concupiscence of the spirit, filled and saturated with an implacable and undying hatred, fomenters of all the most vile passions, in which they are frozen, without any hope of repentance; they have given life to evil; they are totally filled with wickedness, with which they identify themselves.

Since they cannot pour out their hatred upon God, they vomit it continually upon humanity.

The fall and the promise

After the creation of Adam and Eve, they began their great attack to take possession of humanity, in the very first parents; it was the insane dream of Satan: the conquest of a great, unlimited kingdom, in which he could exercise his sovereignty, thus emulating God. The ferocity of the demons is merciless and without pause nor rest. The astuteness that he used upon the first parents was very successful; in your human language you would call it a coup d’etat. In order to impede their insane ambitions, God intervened, with the promise made to the first parents of the Redemption, and thus began the mystery of salvation, with all its circumstances, just as the Bible narrates.

In the fulness of time I, the eternal Word of God, begotten from all eternity by the Father, became flesh in the most pure womb of the Virgin Mary; Satan was afraid, and conjectured that his kingdom was threatened, and he intensified his hate against the hidden enemy, about whom he did not have complete knowledge; his desperation and hatred were directed against Me, Christ, and against my Church, from the moment in which he obtained more precise knowledge of it.

His despairing hatred toward the most holy Virgin is just as great and ferocious, because:

1.- She substituted him and took the first place that he once had, in the invisible and visible world, as the first of all creatures after God.

2.- Her FIAT made Redemption possible, and dealt a severe blow to his kingdom, that he established over humanity by his deceit and cunning, in misleading the first parents.

3.- Another motive for his implacable hatred toward the most holy Virgin originates in the fact, that his humiliating defeat was inflicted on him by a fragile creature, a woman, exceedingly inferior to him by nature; this was, is, and will be, eternally, a torment greater than all the torments of earth, something incomprehensible for all of you; such a torment would kill any human creature, even if he had to suffer it for one instant.

The demons are tremendously perverse and frightfully astute

They are unclean beings, incapable of truth; they always lie; they incite men to evil, arousing sadism, passions, and the concupiscence of the spirit and of the flesh.

Not all are equally potent or powerful, but all are tremendously perverse and frightfully astute. This astuteness originates by reason of their corrupt intelligence by the superiority of their nature, that has succeeded, with a perfidious tenacity, in destroying in the spirit of man all notion, or nearly all, of their own existence. For this reason, nearly all men, no longer believing in their existence, have ceased battling against them, a battle in which I, the eternal Word of God made flesh, died on the Cross.

This is the true cause of the destruction and ruin of the Church, of the crisis of faith that sweeps away bishops, priests and the faithful.

The demons are afraid only of God, of the most holy Virgin and of the saints (those who live and desire to live in the grace of God); they ridicule and laugh at all the others.

Their great success lies in having created in all of humanity, a materialistic, atheistic civilization; their success is only temporary, since the purification is drawing near, with great and formidable steps.

The men who go to hell also become demons; just as the demons, they are frozen in evil in aeterno, in hatred, and in every other passion.

I bless you, son; love Me intensely.
